Egg on Sulaco

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

Plus, fixing the cameras would've involved going where the Alien was.

Plus, they weren't going to do anymore work until they got the bonus situation sorted out.

[Local Trouble]

So the Sulaco would of found the egg itself?
Company orders to ignore the scan results?

Bishop!

If anything, it clarifies an extremely cloudy scene a tad better. Certainly better than nothing.

I don't think so - the image we see of the egg doesn't seem to agree with the blu ray menu's supposed location of the egg in the dropship.

Not only that but others have said that Ripley probably would have checked the dropship landing gear at least visually.  While we don't see this actually happen, we can surmise that is probably an action she would have taken.  This is a complete an utter assumption based on the character.

Then you have the issue of "canon".  Is a blu ray menu canon? If it is canon you have to be able to also explain the problems I have raised.

So no, I don't think the blu ray menu clarified anything.

Queen hocked acid onto the hull, burned a hole, put the egg inside, some of the acid dripped next to Bishop's foot, etcetera.

I was just mentioning that at least we have a tiny tiny bit of new info on a possible location of the Queen's missing Easter egg

Hull of what?  the dropship?

Egg inside what? the dropship?

How did it add anything new?

[SM]

Yes.

[HuDaFuK]

Still wouldn't explain Ripley not noticing a big melted hole big enough for an egg to fit inside.

The hole wouldn't need to be big at all.  Eggs grow.

Do you people honestly believe the eggs are full-sized when they come out of the queen?

Aliens literally shows us they are.

Plus, even if it was small, an acid-melted hole in a metal dropship would be pretty conspicuous.

I mean when they come out of the QUEEN and into the ovipositor.  Aliens shows us a queen attached to a filled ovipositor as well as dozens of other eggs that had already been laid.  You seem to assume that all ingredients for the eggs are swirling about in the ovipositor and the queen's body doesn't contain any of the elements.  I'm assuming the eggs start out small inside her body, then grow inside the ovipositor.

But I suppose since James Cameron didn't explicitly show that with close-ups and a detailed narration, it must be impossible and I must just be reaching again.

What a strange thing to say.

James Cameron didn't need to show us anything, it was Alien 3 that put an egg on the Sulaco without attempting to explain it. That's why everyone in this thread is reaching.

[Vermillion]

Reaching grasping yearning

Bishop had about 20 minutes to fly to the derelict, get an egg, fly to the Sulaco, place the egg there then fly back to the Atmosphere Processor.

IMO it was Bishop.  All androids in the Alien saga have a secret agenda (David, Ash, Call).  For all we know, Walter as well.
